Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D are needed for growth and bone mineralization among children. An injection of vitamin K at birth supplies the needed stores to avoid bleeding until the infant is able to obtain a supply through breast milk or formula. Vitamin D and calcium do not contribute to fat stores or muscle development in the body.
